I had my surgery on Jan 15th., and had my 1st. follow up today. I was 346 at time of surgery and am now 330. Been relatively painless. I stayed 2 nights in the hospital and only used the morphine for one day. Been walking a lot, but don't get too much gas. Have tried yogurts, jello and pudding all tolerated well. Looking forward to upping workout and increasing the loss.
